Menu

What’s for dinner?

Planning a menu for a destination wedding is not nearly as much fun as if you’re having a local wedding. There are no tasting parties, or fun venue events. I wish I could show you pictures of the food we’ll be eating, or talk about how delicious everything was, but sadly we’re picking food off of menus that were emailed to us. But, even though we can’t try anything, it all sounds delicious!

For dinner, we had the choice of three menus, and we could mix and match options within the menus. I’ll spare you the options (because who really cares about food we’re not eating, right?) and just tell you what we selected:

YUM! It all sounds so fancy. (Confession: I don’t even know what all of that stuff is.) Hopefully it’s all delicious. My travel agent (who’s been to the resort many times, and visited just after we booked our wedding there) said the food at the resort is excellent. And, a lot of former brides on Trip Advisor and the Best Destination Wedding Forums say that the wedding food is even better than the restaurant food because it’s cooked fresh, and in smaller batches.

And just to close out the food post, we selected chocolate cake with strawberry filling. The cake catalog had a couple of different pictures of cakes, but during the selection process nobody asked about decoration, or frosting or anything. Maybe that happens at the in person meeting?

Were you excited to select your wedding food? Did you have to choose without getting to taste anything? Were you able to go to your venue for a tasting? Have you ever heard of “eschalotte”?
